Last Saturday I was unfortunately involved in a multi-car accident. Thankfully nobody was injured.
Travelling at about 60mph, traffic suddenly slowed up ahead and came to a standstill. I managed to stop, as did the car behind me, and the car behind that one. But the next car didn't, and in what seemed like slow motion, we heard the thump, thump, and then thump and jolt as the car behind was shoved into us.
It looks like just the bumper, and whatever hard plastic is inside the outer section, are cracked. The rest of the bodywork seems okay. Very lucky, as the other 3 cars involved will be insurance write-offs.
Anyway, before I get my insurance company on the case, I'm wondering if it's a simple enough job to remove and replace the bumper.
Has anyone done it before?
Thanks for any info.
